Sonic the Hedgehog (ソニック ザ ヘッジホッグ) is a game for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Rather than being a port, it is a ROM inside an emulator and somewhat accurately emulates the original Sonic the Hedgehog for the Mega Drive. The ROM itself is the game's third revision which is found in Sonic Mega Collection and the emulator is called iGenesis.

The game is controlled by a directional pad and a button which appears onscreen as the game starts. It is possible to shrink the screen so that using the controls will not block the view. This moves the start button between the buttons rather than at the top-right in full screen mode. A game save option is available and allows a game to be resumed after being turned off.
